Lavender Kaolin 3 step facial
This ones for oily acne prone skin, for cleaning your pores.
- Wash your face with soap and water.
- Mix 4 tablespoons of Kaolin with enough water to hold the powder together
into a thick lumpy paste. Add 5 drops of lavender
oil. Do not use lower grade lavender oil on your face. Apply a thick layer of
this mask on your face. Let it dry completely.
- When the mask is completely dry and hard, remove the hardened clay from
your face in as large pieces as possible. Gently run off the rest with
clean, dry fingertips. What you cannot remove dry, wash off with lots of
water. Leaves skin feeling so clean and fresh.

From the Doctor
Really bad acne or a perpetually spotty complexion would fare better with
products by dermatologists.
Before my wedding, I went for regular skin treatments by a general
practitioner with an interest in dermatology. Her epi-dermabrasion treatments
were really good and we had to book months in advance for a treatment.
That was then.
Now you can actually do your own micro-dermabrasion,
safely, at home. With excellent results.
